The Department of Social Services (DSS) MoHealthNet (Medicaid) issued a Provider Bulletin announcing that effective April 1, 2024, due to the decrease in the Missouri Pharmacy Reimbursement Allowance (Pharmacy Tax), the adjustment to account for the Medicaid-reimbursed prescriptions will be decreased.
Also in Missouri, the Board of Pharmacy emailed Pharmacy Technician Renewals on March 1, 2024, but is concerned that many pharmacy technicians have not renewed. Email address and address changes can be submitted online, faxed to 573/526-3464 or e-mailed. If a name change is required, a copy of the driver’s license, marriage certificate or divorce decree is required. Be sure to include your name and license number on all correspondence to the Board.
Finally in Missouri, with less than two weeks remaining in the regular session, SB 751, 340B legislation pharmacies support because it allows patients greater access to pharmacies and enhances enforcement provisions, passed the Senate by a vote of 28-3 and is pending further action in the House.
